In a flexible management environment, you can submit the Update IBM Installation Manager job to update the Installation Manager on registered hosts of the job manager.
Start the job manager and the targets. Ensure that the targets for which you want to update Installation Manager are registered with the job manager.
To submit jobs, your ID at the job manager must be authorized for the administrator role or the operator role. When you submit a job, you can specify a user name and password for authentication and authorization at the target or targets. When you submit a job to multiple targets, the user name and password or the credentials for the submitter must apply all of the job targets.
To run the job against a large number of targets, optionally create a group of targets and submit the job against the group.
You can use the administrative console of the job manager or the deployment manager to submit the job. From the console, choose the Update IBM Installation Manager job, specify the targets, schedule the job, review the summary, and submit the job.
Instead of using a console, you can run the updateIM job script in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
The job runs and updates Installation Manager on the selected targets.
On the Job status page, click the
job ID and view the job status. Click the status refresh icon to refresh the displayed job
status.
If the job is not successful, view any error messages that result from running the job, correct the error condition, and submit the job again.
